The General Guarded the Hills With Medals and a Steady Green Stare
The general stands on a quiet hillside, and the whole countryside seems to hold its breath. A blue-grey Russian Blue cat wears a navy velvet uniform with heavy gold epaulettes, a sash running diagonally across his chest, and a cluster of star-shaped medals pinned over his heart. His bright green eyes stare straight ahead. Behind him, blue hills fade into the haze, a castle stands on a distant ridge, and fluffy clouds fill the sky above a winding road.
Russian Blues have a short, dense, silvery-blue coat and brilliant green eyes, and are often described as quiet, gentle, and devoted to their people. They may be a bit reserved with strangers, but they usually warm up quickly and enjoy a regular routine. Because they are bright, they like interactive play, puzzle feeders, and the chance to climb. Keep fresh water and a clean litter box handy, and ask your vet about diet and care. Their coat is simple to maintain with a weekly brush.
Painters often placed commanders against wide landscapes to show their power over the land. This cat takes it a step further by looking as though the hills were his idea. For all the medals, his calm expression is the most impressive part. He seems like a general who wins his battles by simply staring until the other side gives up.
